Handy

For a long time now, I’ve been admiring this dress on Kim’s adorable blog. I’d been too cautious to make the purchase as I was wary of the cut-out shoulders (I have a weird theory that these shoulders turn girls into he-man) But when the dress popped up in the Minkpink sale recently, I had it through the checkout quicker than I could say ‘Hamsa Hand’- and I haven’t looked back since. My review: the shoulders are actually less butch- more boho.

As of late, I’ve been exploring as much as possible of my current city- Glasgow.I have to say, of all the cities, Glasgow comes pretty close in as one of my favourite places to be. There is honestly nowhere as beautiful on a summers day, whether you’re exploring the narrow and somewhat magical lanes, admiring a loch from an incredible hillside, or just chatting the day away with a fellow Weegie, I’m pretty sure I’ll never get tired of it’s quirky goodness.

So, when my boyfriend and I were out exploring last weekend we came across Pollok Country Park. Its 146 hectares of scenic green parkland, complete with a gorgeous Stately home and stables full of horses. What’s more, the whole thing is nestled in the middle of the city. We happily spent a day spent brunching at Pollock house, and petting some adorably humongous ponies- all rounded off by a quick stroll around the grounds. One of my favourite Spring weekends to date!

You know on occasion girls will talk about their 'go-to' outfit, or complete 'staple' pieces? The items they turn to in times of bad hair days, I've-eaten-too-much-cake days and down right lazy days? Well these black jeans and striped t shirt would be my answer.

Now, I’m not one to usually document nights out on this blog- or, dare I say admit to what I really did on a weekday night (sleep, FYI), but on this occasion I’ll make an exception.

It’s no secret that I’m pretty in love with New look at the moment. Their clothing is always current, and I particularly love the fit of the stuff. That is to say, I can order my size online, or pick something up off the shelf minus the trauma of finding I needed it 3 sizes bigger on the bottom and two sizes smaller on the top.
